Constantly linking everything back to Ukraine and Ukrainians reminds me of a political platform that once rose to prominence in a powerful European state. Fueled by conspiracy theories, it found an easy scapegoat for the country’s setbacks. It did not end well

Senator Mark Kelly was my Commander on the Space Shuttle Discovery during my trip back to Earth. I know him well - that's him holding my newborn baby. I have tremendous respect for him as a leader and as a patriot. I would never, ever question his dedication to our country.

Meanwhile, far from Earth...

The space between stars is full of gas and dust that is normally dark & invisible to us. But a flash of light from a 350-year-old supernova has lit up the interstellar medium -- revealing it in all its strange, swirling glory. 🧪🔭

webbtelescope.org/contents/new...
These shimmering cosmic curtains show interstellar gas and dust that has been heated by the flashbulb explosion of a long-ago supernova. The gas then glows infrared light in what is known as a thermal light echo. As the supernova illumination travels through space at the speed of light, the echo appears to expand. NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope observed this light echo in the vicinity of the supernova remnant Cassiopeia A.

Executive orders:

I think it's both funny and sad that in recent years, the Oscars implemented all these "representation and inclusion guidelines", but have no problem nominating a Russian actor who has done ACTUAL pro-Kremlin propaganda.

How tone-deaf can the Academy be?

In today’s Vatnik Soup, I’ll discuss how Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania cut the cord on Russian energy, further reducing their reliance on the Kremlin.

At the same time, the Baltics set an example for EU countries like Slovakia and Hungary whose leadership still worships Putin.

In today’s Vatnik Soup, I’ll discuss the Kremlin’s toolbox at sea. Recently, we have seen several sabotage operations allegedly conducted by Russia & its allies, especially in the Baltic Sea region. Since 2023, there have been several underwater cables cut by ships’ anchors.

"Masculine Energy"
Panel 1: Mark Zuckerberg stands on the stage at a Meta all-hands meeting, wearing a little chain and a shirt that says "Cool Dude." "I think our company could use more Masculine Energy," he says into a mic. In the crowd, an employee raises their hand. "Excuse me, Mr. Zuckerberg," the person asks. Panel 2: The person stands up, asking, "By "Masculine Energy," do you mean a mature definition where men in power use their relative strength to protect and uplift those less privileged?" Panel 3: The person continues, "…or a more childish definition where men in power are free to be aggressive and harm others without being held accountable?" Panel 4: Zuck stands silent for a beat. Panel 5: "You're all fired," he says.

The Starship upper stage on today’s flight appears to have suffered what SpaceX calls a “rapid unscheduled disassembly”: it broke apart more than eight minutes after liftoff, shortly after the booster made a successful return to the launch site.
